Financial Opportunity Corps Sworn In

Bank of America, Points of Light and the Corporation for National and Community Service are partnering to introduce Financial Opportunity Corps, a national program that will place financial coaches in low- to moderate-income communities across the nation in an effort to help individuals become more financial stable.

The program was designed to help community members develop strategies to reduce debt, improve credit, start saving for emergencies, access benefits and build assets for long-term financial health.
